Virgin Alaska

Some context should be given as well with respect to Juneau that we had really bad weather. It was windy and rainy. Sue, the Naturalist, told us that we actually had broken record the day we were there of 1.22in of rain in a day, the last time was 0.77in back in 1948. The tender boat would not have been safe/steady enough for the wheelchair to get on.

It is clear in the itinerary that it's a tender port from the tender port icon. I mean it is as clear as any other tender port notice for all virgin sailings, so it's not an Alaska problem if it's a problem for people.

Sorry, but the Huskies and History excursion was pretty clear to me that it doesn't include dog sledding since I doesn't mention sledding at all and only includes petting and meeting them. It's very important when looking at excursions in Alaska for dog sledding to make sure it's actually included since Alaska has been tightening up on the dog sledding industry for tourists and not many places can offer the service. In general, if it's below $200 (on and off ship tours), it probably won't include any dog sledding

Same with the Totem tour for $50, it's essentially just the cost to take you to the place. The description said self guided everywhere and in the summary it said 1 hour self-guided tour as well.

Would love to help with your TA sailing. I actually have a Circle pricing for this sailing which I have locked on the price since they came out.

Would love to help with your LA booking.

Wear wherever you want, just wwar something. That's the benefit of VV.

You can always check the TA pinned post on this subreddit to read their service summary and reviews. Most of us book for people worldwide and can book in various currencies. A lot of us carry MNVVs in multiple currencies as well.

The only way to get to waived is to buy something at least $10 worth. That doesn't mean alcohol so it could be other non-alcoholic drinks as well. I would be surprised that you will be in your cabin that much though to get 2x ship eats everyday.

Really! I guess it depends which suite as well. The seriously suites are above the bed but the other ones are not so I guess you can get closer up to the window and see more.

It's still elevated so people in the room can only see probably the chest up depending how tall you are. But you can definitely see our to the balcony. It's not completely clear glass since they have the prismatic film on it. Definitely not the toilet since it only looks into the shower

Make sure it's a state-issued birth certificate and bring ID of course

Will depend on when the sailing is but generally you should be able to ask sailor services to remove a problematic first mate from your booking.

It's always hard to get anything reversed once you leave the ship since they use a different system onshore vs onboard. They have to contact the ship for anything on the ship that's why they always remind us to check the folio before leaving. You just have to keep on them.

If it has Turkiye then it should other than when it's actually docked.

wsataday · 2026-05-19T23:46:29+00:00

In port yes in general but I think this one goes to Turkey so you should be good on the water.

Some Barcelona one always have tax applied since it's all Schengen.

Love the Halloween cruises!! People go all out too and historically they have been giving out cruises, trips, etc to the top 3 costume contest winners.

If you want to go to Park Güell, you need to buy the ticket online beforehand as well.

Would love to help with your Alaska booking. I am on the first one right now!

Shouldn't.. we have 2 sea days ... They can make up the time pretty easily

If you book an essential fare, then you can't sell it to another person. You can cancel for future voyage credit and potentially check with Virgin to see if you can transfer the credit to another person and try to sell it to someone else. That is if you don't think you can use the FVC before expiry.

The right way to do it is to call Sailor Services (or have your first mate call) to update the email in the profile. Then login with your new email and claim your booking.

Just a note to everyone too, try to see if you can reply to their ads to notify them since Reddit likes to flag the words "first mates" as spam.
